If you’ve spent any time with collectable RPGs, this is a name that needs no introduction. The original Monster Taming was all about turning wild creatures into companions that fight alongside you, and now it has returned, renewed and completely reimagined in Mongil: Star Dive. The visuals are richer, the combat is more exhilarating and the App Store Editors went hands-on to get a closer look at the action.

Remember Verna and Cloud? The two heroes at the heart of the original continue to drive the story in Mongil: Star Dive, and this time, the plot runs deeper and richer.

Welcome to Belana, a vibrant world home to humans and monsters alike. While going about their lives as guild members, our heroes notice strange anomalies spreading across the land, pulling them into an epic quest for answers. Along the way, they team up with a cute, mysterious cat companion with bizarre powers. And what about the enigmatic figure haunting Cloud's dreams every night? Could that be the missing puzzle piece? Join familiar faces as well as new ones including Ophelia, a promising adventurer of noble birth, as you piece the mystery together.

You might be used to fielding multiple characters in RPGs, but combat in Mongil: Star Dive is faster and more dynamic. The tag system lets you cycle between three characters in an instant, chaining skills in real time. Unleash Verna’s razor-sharp swordplay, then tag in Ellie in the blink of an eye for a sweet finishing blow. With unique skills that activate with tag-ins and powerful team synergies, every battle becomes a test of high-speed strategy.

That adorable cat monster we mentioned? It has one remarkable talent, and that is transforming monsters into charming little Monsterlings. Unique to Mongil: Star Dive, Monsterlings let you tap into the abilities of captured monsters. Snag a Cappy, for example, and you’ll score a boost to your critical hit rate. You can clip these Monsterlings right onto your characters’ outfits just like keychains, which power up your character and look incredibly stylish!
